I do not have further informations. And I am busy with other tasks at the moment.

But I think it is not much work, to check the priority date of the patents with the filing date of the varieties (in cpvo) and link it with Pinto.

Betreff: Re: [Npos_2018] Cercospera Patente von KWS - neu?

 

Dear Francois

 

there are many Cercospora patents, can you tell me which are the ones that you consider to be relevant for the varieties registered?

 

I have to admit that, so far, I tried to escape the use of the pinto database (left it to Johanna), so if the patents are named, please share. There are several KWS patents on cercospora. If we want to follow your idea, we have to check their priority.

 

thanks,

 

Christoph

Dear All

I just received a hint which is maybe interesting to follow-up.

It seems that the the registration for the Varieties falling under the Cercospera Patents from KWS (as now disclosed in Pinto) have been filed before the patents have been filed.

The result would be that all the patents lack novelty.

I wonder if KWS is really so stupid – but it would certainly be good to check.

Best

François
